Rewrote entire section; removed for now my own name proposals I found problematic (especially after editing several of the mos pages)

There are two types of names described in this section:


== Systematic names for mos descendants ==
* Systematic names, which use an exiting TAMNAMS name and a step ratio range as a base. This has two subtypes:
To name mosses that have more than 10 notes, rather than giving mosses unique names, names are based on how they're related to another (named) mos and, optionally, what step ratio is needed for the parent to produce that mos.
** Descriptive names, a multi-word name that describes the mos itself.
{| class="wikitable"
** Shortened names, a shortened form of a descriptive name.
! colspan="12" |Base names
* Specific names, unique names to be used to make a mos distinct from its parent or ancestor mos.

Mos descendant names have two main forms: a multi-part name, where the base name (''chromatic'', ''enharmonic'', ''subchromatic'', and ''descendant'') and mos name are separate words, and a one-part name, formed by prefixing the mos's prefix to the base names. The latter is recommended for mosses with no more than three periods, as the only 4 and 5-period mosses named by TAMNAMS are tetrawood and pentawood respectively. If a step ratio is specified for the former, it may be written out fully instead of prefixed to the base word.


The term ''k''th descendant can be used to refer to any mos that descends from another mos, regardless of how many generations apart the two are. To find the number of generations ''n'' separating the two mosses, use the following algorithm:
== Mosses for which extension names apply ==
#Let z and w be the number of large and small steps of the parent mos to be found. Assign to z and w the values x and y respectively. Let n = 0, where n is the number of generations away from zL ws.
These names are recommended for mosses whose child mosses exceed 10 notes.
#Let m1 be equal to max(z, w) and m2 be equal to min(z, w).
#Assign to z the value m2 and w the value m1-m2. Increment n by 1.
#If the sum of z and w is no more than 10, then the parent mos is zL ws and is n generations from the mos descendant xL ys. If not, repeat the process starting at step 2.
As diatonic (5L 2s) doesn't have a prefix, the terms ''chromatic'', ''enharmonic'', and ''subchromatic'' by themselves (and with no other context suggesting a non-diatonic mos) refer to 1st (child), 2nd (grandchild), and 3rd (great-grandchild) diatonic descendants. For consistency, mos descendant names apply to mosses whose child mosses exceed 10 notes. Since all mosses ultimately descend from some nL ns mos, every possible descendant up to 5 periods will be related to a named mos.

== Systematic names for mos descendants ==
=== Base names ===
To name mosses that have more than 10 notes, names are based on how they're related to another, named mos, based on how many generations apart the two are:
* The immediate child of a mos is a chromatic mos.
* The grandchild scale of a mos is an enharmonic mos.
* The great-grandchild scale of a subchromatic mos.

|''(mos-name)''
|''(mos-prefix)''enharmonic
|''(mos-prefix)''enharmonic
|''(mos-prefix)''subchromatic
|''(mos-prefix)''descendant
|}
The term '''''k''th descendant''' or '''''(mos-prefix)descendant''''' is used to refer to descendants more than 3 generations away, but can be used generally for any number of generations. To find the number of generations k separating the two mosses, use the following algorithm:
#Let z and w be the number of large and small steps of the parent mos to be found. Assign to z and w the values x and y respectively. Let n = 0, where n is the number of generations away from zL ws.
#Let m1 be equal to max(z, w) and m2 be equal to min(z, w).
#Assign to z the value m2 and w the value m1-m2. Increment n by 1.
#If the sum of z and w is no more than 10, then the parent mos is zL ws and is n generations from the mos descendant xL ys. If not, repeat the process starting at step 2.
=== Hardness modifiers ===
Optionally, a hardness modifier, which describes a parent mos's step ratio range, can be added before a systematic name to make mosses of the same generation more distinct from one another. Hardness modifiers can be added as a range name or a prefix to either the descriptive name or shortened name; however, to make a descriptive name more clear, it's recommended to use a range name rather than a prefix. Mos descendants farther than 3 generations away from a parent mos do not have hardness modifiers.

==== Reasoning for names ====
== Reasoning for names ==
The overall motivation for these names is to give names to closely related mosses and refer to individual mosses as some member of a broader family, rather than name individual mosses. Various terms have been used to similarly describe child mosses, but not under a temperament-agnostic viewpoint.
The overall motivation for these names is to give names to closely related mosses and refer to individual mosses as some member of a broader family, rather than name individual mosses.
 
Various terms have been used to similarly describe child mosses, notably the terms haplotonic, albitonic, and chromatic. However, the terms chosen are chromatic, enharmonic, and subchromatic, as they are the closest to being generalizable.

|}The format of adding a mos's prefix to the terms descendant, chromatic, enharmonic, and subchromatic is best applied to mosses that have no more than three periods. With mosses that descend directly from nL ns mosses especially (4L 4s and above), this is to keep names from being too complicated (eg, ''chromatic (number)-wood'' instead of ''(number)-woodchromatic'').
|}The use of p- and m- as prefixes to refer to specific chromatic mosses, as well as the use of f- and s- for enharmonic mosses, has been suggested by various users, but gneralizing the pattern to 3rd mos descendants shows the letters diverging from one another, notably where m- is no longer next to p- and f- and s- are no longer along the extremes. Rather than using these letters, as well as being temperament-agnostic, prefixes based on step ratios are used instead. However, temperament-based prefixes may be used specifically for diatonic descendants as alternatives to the prefixes based on step ratios. For this reason, the former TAMNAMS names m- and p-chromatic are included as specific names.
